Storyteller • Builder • Founder
Stories build what strategy alone can’t.
Whether through companies, conversations, stages, or words, I’m drawn to the moment an idea becomes something people can see, feel, and join.
A little about me
The medium keeps changing. The work doesn’t— building something people believe in.
I’ve performed on opera stages, co-founded a company, led an institution, and now I’m building software. Different rooms, one throughline: the story that makes people care.
Chapters.
The moments, organizations, and ideas that shaped how I think about creativity, leadership, and building things that matter.

What I’m building
Advising
Helping organizations find the story inside the strategy.
Conversations
Keynotes, panels, workshops, and thoughtful rooms where ideas become clearer.
Stories in Development
New ideas taking shape behind the scenes — more to share when the time is right.
The medium changes. The mission doesn’t.
Let’s build something people believe in.
If you’re building something people need to believe in, I’d love to hear about it.
Life outside the build

that matter.
The work matters.
So does everything that shapes it.
